Page 12 VALLEY MORNING STAR ORIENTAL WAR NEW STRAND Today SCENE SHIFTSl TO WEST AREA Defense Troops Gird For Push' By The Associated Press Japanese press reports Wednesday said three Japanese columns had occupied Huchow, on the south flank of the Nanking defenses. Chinese forces were said to have been driven from the stronghold, to the rear of the main defense line bordering the southern shore of Lake Tai. Japan army, however, temporarily had suspended large scale operations to prepare intensively for a final drive on Nanking. China evacuated capital. Defense troops also were girding for an expected major clash west of Shanghai.

About 300,000 troops were reported massed between Ki- angyin, the Yangtze anchor of the defense line, and Wusih, to the south. Action The belief grew, nevertheless, the Chinese might relinquish Nan- i king with only face-saving rearguard action in order to spare the capital from destructive bombard- ment. A Japanese navy spokesman said bombing planes raided Nanking but that results were not known. Air attacks also were made on! Chinese troop concentrations at Wutsin. Ihing, Wusin and Kiangyin.

Dispatches from Canton, important south China port, said 100 civilians were feared killed in a half-hour air raid. The attack on Nanking coincided with foreign confirmation that the Chinese had acquired Russian- made planes to bolster air defenses of the capital. The attack was believed to have been an attempt to smash quickly this possible challenge to Japan's air strength. Five of the largest Chinese morning newspapers, with a combined circulation of 400,000 suspended publication in Shanghai because of the pressure of Japanese demanding full authority in the city and suppression of all anti-Japan- lsm. Hangchow Protection Asked Martial law was proclaimed in Tsingfcao, Shantung province port.

which Japanese naval forces apparently threatened. Official reports said twelve Japanese warships had been sighted about 12 miles south of the north China coastal city. Precautions against feared Jap- anese attacks also were taken at Nanking and Hangchow, chief port and provincial capital of Chekiang province, south of Shanghai. United States and other foreign nationals in Nanking asked both Chinese and Japanese officials to set aside a neutral zone in the capital similar to the area reserved in the Nantao district during the battle for Shanghai. The proposed area included the United States, Italian and Japanese embassies and the new foreign residential quarter.

Japanese officials said they favored the principle of the plan but that army officers would have to consider military factors involved. Influential Americans, other foreigners and Chinese appealed jointly to the United States, British and French consuls at Hangchow to urge Japan not to bombard that city, famous for its beauty and cultural institutions. Five Americans are among 29 foreigners in Hangchow which also is filled with wounded Chinese soldiers and Chinese non-combatant refugees.

Windsors May Visit Xew Mexico Retreat MADRID, more than a month of comparative quiet, Madrid was battered for over an hour Wednesday night in one of the worst shellings of the war.

Scores were believed killed and injured in the furious artillery duel which filled Madrid's streets with a continuous roar of explosions. Government guns answered. The few remaining lights in Madrid flickered out as if by a master switch with the first shell. An overcast sky flashed with the blaze of battle. More than 1,200 bursts were counted and after each came the crash of glass and mortar, and screams.

Above the cannon roar came the noise of hard fighting in the University City sector. First reports said the Insurgents had launched a heavy attack. This deadly show came the one night this year when the American government was represented here by a diplomatic officer. Walter Thurston, counsellor of the American embassy, arrived Wednesday. After a few shells burst near the embassy, he retired with other inhabitants of the building to the basement.

Thurston planned to remain for Thanksgiving. Embassy officials left here last Thanksgiving Day, after the removal of the Spanish government to Valencia. This week they will move time to Barcelona, new seat of the Spanish government. Thurston, after returning to Valencia Friday, will proceed to Barcelona to set up new embassy offices in the United States consulate A vice consul will be left in Valencia, now officially evacuated by the government. An embassy population of 55 still domiciled in the closed embassy building here, welcomed Thurston in a far more orderly scene than a year ago when the building was being abandoned after as many Americans as possible had been induced to leave.

In fact, Thanksgiving feast plans have been abandoned this year because only eight newspapermen and three business left. None of them lives in the Embassy building, the population of w'hich includes four Filipinos, a Puerto Rican and their Spanish servants and families. Important, also, on the embassy rolls are nine cows, three fattened for chickens, three sheep and a duck. The sheep unquestionably are the fattest in Spain: They are the lawn mowers. Due to food difficulties the residents have fared for months on this daily menu: break- bread and coffee: lunch soup; and rice.

Horbury of Rugby, England, millionaire member of the Liverpool cotton exchange, disclosed he was putting into shape his luxurious Vallejo polo ranch at a cost of $65,000 to entertain the royal couple on their expected forthcoming trip to the United States. Here in the rugged country just east of the snow-topped peaks of the Sangre de Christo mountains, Horbury has established what is considered one of the most pretentious guest ranches in the West. Mr.

and Mrs. Horbury have indicated that the Duke of Windsor and the former Mrs. Wallis Simpson might be expected in the United States some time after the first of the year. The Horbury ranch, several miles west of Springer and south of the town of Cimarron, extends over nearly 55.000 acres, and provides ex- Horbury's proposed remodeling of the big ranch house includes enlargement of the main lounge, and installing a game room for billiards and other indoor amusements. A more capacious dining room is to be constructed, separated from a ball room by a proscenium of multiple arches.

At the rear of the ball room the plans call for construction of an orchestra pit, canopied by a permanent musical shell. The big house is furnished pala- tially. Horbury purchased the place I about a year and a half ago from an English army officer who used it to indulge his hobby of raising and training horses.
